Hello chaps, this'll probably be my last post on the fitness part of the forum for a while hopefully.

I booked my AOSB main board a while back, the knee problems I described previously have gone away, and I have just over 6 weeks until the big event.

As I mentioned previously, I mocked up the fitness test a few days ago in the local park, and passed. An additional 5% extra fitness or so wouldn't go amiss though!

What I'm asking for are tips and methods on the most efficient way to train in the month and a half I've got left. In fitness terms I feel that period of time isn't a lot, hence the title.

Many thanks, this forum is worth it's weight in gold!

*edit* At the moment I'm planning on cutting training to 3 times a week, but for longer, 50 minutes a time. A combination of cycling and running. Either 1 x cycling and 2 x running a week, or vice versa. I don't really need to work on my sit ups anymore, they're fine. My press ups could use a bit of improvement.

You have highlighted what you must do:

Increase your training time but not the intensity - RMAS will do that for you.

It all depends on what you want to improve on in the month and half you have left?

6 weeks? Sounds like I'll be on the same board as you then! Anyway can I get in on that fitness programme? my main prob is press ups and general upper body for the assault course. Just remembered that arms have to be tight in on the press ups - I've been training doing wide grip for months. D'OH!!

I've always been told the hands should be "a comfortable distance apart". No nonsense about being vertically in line with the shoulders. And no-one has ever commented on my technique...

The most anti-social exercise in the world. I wish the whole thing was about sit ups, i can do them... I'm only worried about the assault course. anyone know how high the hurdles are? I did my briefing about 4 years ago now and the closest I've come to one since was watching olympic grandstand...
